Re: The Great Quotes thread
“We frolic in our emancipation from theology, but have we developed a natural ethic—a moral code independent of religion—strong enough to keep our instincts of acquisition, pugnacity, and sex from debasing our civilization into a mire of greed, crime, and promiscuity? Have we really outgrown intolerance, or merely transferred it from religious to national, ideological, or racial hostilities?”
― Will Durant, The Lessons of History
"Grow strong, my comrade ....that you may stand
Unshaken when I fall; that I may know
The shattered fragments of my songs will come
At last to find melody in you;
That I may tell my heart that you begin
Where passing I leave off, and fathom more."
Will Durant.
